Milwaukee Tap and Die Threading Sets

I remember being fascinated by the process of threading the first time I saw it, but the day-to-day reality of the job includes some very real frustrations. Milwaukee tap and die threading sets target some of those frustrations.

Milwaukee Tap and Die Threading Sets – What’s Different?

Milwaukee’s design team honed in on three areas of frustration with standard threading sets. First, they noted that the sizes are hard to read. Each black tap and die has a light-colored marking that makes it easy to read compared to typical etching.

Second, many sets require different handle sizes. Milwaukee created a single Hex-LOK handle to tackle both taps and dies across the entire size range. The chrome handle is just under 9 inches long with curved edges that are comfortable in your hand. A 1-inch hex interface holds the threading dies or the tap collet and requires no tools to install either.

Finally, there’s the breakage issue. Milwaukee doesn’t go into detail about the metallurgy in the accessories. However, we do know they specifically addressed the durability of the bits and finished them off with a black oxide coating.

Milwaukee Tap and Die Threading Sets – What’s Included?

There are 125 products involved in this launch and the best way to get started is with a set. Chances are, you’ll need both a metric and an SAE set. You can either grab one full set and then fill in the other sizes you need, or grab two full sets.

We got our hands on the two most comprehensive sets, both of which have 38 total pieces. They include a Hex-LOK 2-in-1 handle, tap collet, T-handle bar, 17 taps, 17 dies, and a thread gauge. Everything comes in an organizer tray that’s set into a Packout box.

Milwaukee Tap and Die Threading Sets Price
